Chapter 1740: Chapter 1779: Remnant Soul of the Boundary Master (Third Update)

The eleventh layer is even more vast than the tenth.

He couldn’t even sense the end of this layer.

It might be more massive than the area of the continent!

At this moment, the sky was filled with flying Hell creatures; some resembling the mounts of Ayushura King, with a worm-like body and butterfly wings, while others had a lizard body and bat wings.

On the ground, diverse Hell creatures rampaged, including the Hell Two-headed Dog he was familiar with and giant wolves ablaze with flames that he had never seen before.

The types were bizarre and their appearances fierce and menacing.

The aura they emanated was extraordinarily powerful, all of them being above the level of Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul without exception.

He even sensed traces of Divinity Transformation Realm aura.

Jiang Fan was solemn: "Even the Divinity Transformation Realm! Even ordinary cultivators from the Divinity Transformation Realm would struggle to make a safe retreat here."

"The ancestors of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion really faced a challenge."

"Today, let me explore the truth on your behalf."

Using invisibility, Jiang Fan reached the forefront of the Hell creatures.

Only then, he discovered they were angrily pursuing a beautiful woman with blood-red long hair and a silver long dress, her features stern.

Her eyes were closed, lifeless; clearly, she was a corpse.

Unknown how many years she had been dead, yet she remained lifelike, with a lingering dignified aura.

It’s imaginable that when she was alive, she was undoubtedly a supreme existence.

And her identity wasn’t hard to guess.

The Empress of the Bloodthirsty Shura Clan, Dongfang Canyue!

That means she’s the mother of the Asura Saint Son!

Her oppressive aura kept the Hell creatures from approaching, forming a vast vacuum area.

Beside the empress’s corpse walked a smug-looking, pretty Asura Clan woman.

It was none other than Tian Ge!

She finally revealed her true cultivation at this moment, a Nine Orifice Shura!

But Jiang Fan did not act rashly.

Tian Ge belongs to the Dark Shura Clan, known for controlling puppets, but how could she control someone at the level of the Asura Emperor like Dongfang Canyue?

There must be something strange about her.

It’s wise to observe first.

Her gaze turned towards the distance, fixing on a sky-piercing stone pillar, showing a trace of excitement:

"The legend is true!"

"Ten thousand years ago, a Hell Realm Master, unwilling to see the Hell Realm’s land taken by the Nine Saints of Central Earth, activated his World Artifact Void Tower to connect the two realms."

"Where we are in the eleventh layer is already deep in the Hell Realm."

"Once the Void Tower is activated, the ground beneath us will crumble, connecting entirely with the Hell Realm."

"By then, Hell Realm’s army can pass through the Void Tower directly to the surface of Central Earth!"

Jiang Fan’s face remained grim.

This was exactly as he had guessed!

Indeed, this underground world of the eleventh layer is actually a complete giant Magic Artifact.

The pinnacle of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is the top of the artifact.

The eleventh layer is its base.

Connected to Central Earth above.

Linked to Hell Realm below.

That Wu Gou Altar is the Magic Artifact to activate the Void Tower.

Cold sweat trickled down Jiang Fan’s back, he finally understood why Central Earth forbids entry to Divinity Transformation cultivators, and Sages are stopped.

If someone with ill intentions activates Wu Gou Altar, connecting Hell Realm.

What would be the consequence?

Hell Realm’s army would invade, storming into Central Earth!

Central Earth is only one-twentieth the size of Hell Realm; the number of strong figures below Saint Realm should follow this ratio as well.

Once conflict begins, the consequences would be even more horrifying than an invasion of Ancient Giants!

The Ancient Giants they could resist, but if Hell Realm invades, destruction is the only path!

Tian Ge gazed at the stone pillar, her excitement barely concealed:

"It’s said that a thousand years ago, when Central Earth was defeated, Hell Realm planned to take advantage and activate the Void Tower."

"It was the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation who placed a fallen Ancient Saint’s remains in the eleventh layer, relying on its residual powerful saintly aura to suppress the Void Tower, preventing activation."

"Otherwise, Central Earth would have long become the territory of Hell Realm now."

Jiang Fan felt desolate.

The thousand-year answer sought by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion predecessors was revealed.

There truly was an Ancient Saint in the underground world.

But he wasn’t in slumber; he had fallen.

An inexplicable sadness rose within him; generations pursued thousands of years of hope only to encounter a mirage.

Yet, fortunately, today, the creatures of Central Earth stood up to resist, weathering the catastrophe.

Moreover, they were about to organize a counterattack, a distant expedition to the Heavenly Realm.

If the ancestors of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion knew this news, they would surely be gratified.

"I’ve said so much, you should come out now too."

Suddenly, Tian Ge spoke to the air.

Jiang Fan was startled, had he been exposed?

But soon he realized Tian Ge wasn’t speaking to him.

He saw Tian Ge’s eyes emanating a faint blue glow, and a small blue soul flame flew out from her eyes.

In the air, it transformed into a hazy mist, forming a frail pale-skinned, handsome white-robed young man.

Though an Asura Clan member, he appeared very slender, lacking the robust presence typical of the clan.

"Cough... cough..." The white-robed young man coughed, looking at the stone pillar ahead:

"Indeed, the Saint Realm of Central Earth is here; I can sense his presence."

Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted.

Tian Ge’s soul held a profound Remnant Soul inside!

He felt like he was standing before an abyss, sending chills down his spine.

Just like when he saw the White-robed Skeleton.

Of course, the White-robed Skeleton’s Remnant Soul was far more complete, incomparable to the white-robed young man ahead.

But it still made him deeply uneasy.

No wonder the Qintian Bureau who tried to forcefully Soul Search Tian Ge faced a spiritual backlash.

It turned out Tian Ge’s soul harbored such a being!

Tian Ge’s eyebrows raised with happiness at his words:

"Finally, the day has come."

"As long as I refine the corpse of the Central Earth Saint into a Puppet, in an age without Saints, who in the three realms can challenge me?"

Her goal in coming here was to control the Saint’s corpse!

Jiang Fan’s expression shifted.

Once the Saint’s corpse leaves the eleventh layer, wouldn’t Hell Realm be able to activate the Void Tower, connecting the two realms?

This Tian Ge disregards the safety of all Central Earth!

Had he known, he would have killed her earlier to prevent future troubles!

The white-robed young man said: "Don’t be careless."

"After all, it’s a Saint of Central Earth; even after a thousand years, the residual aura remains terrifying."

"One mistake, and even my Remnant Soul could be destroyed."

Tian Ge took out a black Crystal the length of a forearm, engraved with strange eye patterns.

Just a glance, and it seemed like the eyes would swallow the soul, extremely eerie!

"Hehe, with the legendary World Artifact of the Dark Shura Clan, even a mere Saint’s corpse can be made a Puppet!"

Jiang Fan finally understood why the Dark Shura Clan issued an Asura Emperor-level bounty to hunt her down.

This woman actually stole the Dark Shura Clan’s World Artifact lineage!!!

No wonder she could control Dongfang Canyue’s remains.

With the World Artifact in hand, controlling the Asura Emperor’s remains presents no difficulty!
